Andrew W Tim (Maro Molina) is an oversexed teenager sweating it out in Miami Florida. Every high school in the planet has a character like Tim, aimless oversexed and starved for affection. Trouble seems to follow him everywhere he goes. Fortunately his best friend Richard (Howard Badley) has his back and tries to keep him out of trouble. Tim feels like his fortune has changed when his crush Sheiila agrees to go on a boozy date on the beach. When Sheila quickly gets bored ditches Tim to score more alcohol with her friend he scrambles to find her to bring her home by 8pm or suffer the wrath of her vicious gangster father. Coming in at a tight 58 minutes Gabriel does not waste a single second and makes every scene count. The color palette and cinematography are beautiful, and Gabriel cleverly utilizes many wide overhead shots of the city to keep the story moving. Supercool much like adolescence its self is a disorienting ride tense exhilarating land and occasionally overwhelming. The dialogue reminded me of Deadwood where characters communicate in street slang so dense and intricate it was a challenge understanding them at times. This is what filmmaking should be about- raw unpredictable ,poignant experimental and funny. Gabriel Black has a bright future as a filmmaker and I look forward to seeing what he does next. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Chad J This is not your average coming-of-age movie. It has new slang that keeps you glued to the screen. The obstacles that are thrown into the movie that Tim the lead character has to overcome to get a date with the girl he likes will also keep you glued to the screen wondering what's going to happen next. It may not be for the young audience but the adults who watch it will enjoy the flow and pacing of the movie. You will find at least one character that you can relate to from your high school days. I enjoyed it, and so will you! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/23 Full Review michelle l Supercool written, filmed, and edited by Gabriel Black is a fun and exciting teen comedy. This well written story comes to life by some really great actors. There's never a dull moment in this fast paced thrilling story, that really keeps you on the edge of your seat. I really enjoyed the words that would flash on the screen in a Scott Pilgrim manner. It really added to the emphasis of the scene, also really adding to the enjoyment of the film. I really enjoyed the different filming locations that they chose. This is beautifully shot and edited. I can't wait to see more work from this filmmaker. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/23 Full Review Altin A It hits so many nails on the head with a hammer! This was an extremely entertaining movie for a few different reasons. A) It explores the typical struggles of teens' lives with discovering their sexuality and the challenges they face from not being self-reliant adults. The story is hilariously written and flows really well. The cast did an amazing job bringing this film to life. B) It also has an educational point of view. The film is an encyclopedia of slang terms and even has a dictionary at the end that thoroughly explores each term used by the cast in the movie. C) It is reminiscent of a mixture of cult classics. The storyline reminds you of Superbad, while the tone of the film reminds you of Scarface, and the cast's chemistry reminds you of Stranger Things. A very well-written story with an entertaining plot that teaches you every modern slang word. It is a must-see! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/23 Full Review Joseph B Supercool is a romantic comedy that takes on what defines friendship in these modern times. The characters speak in their own style of language providing colorful dialogue and giving a real sense of the universe Gabriel Black cleverly edits together. Funny, smart, and unique. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/15/23 Full Review Lauren B This movie is really stylized with colors and cool camera work! I appreciated seeing a diverse cast!
